Find the software everyone else is using with Wakoopa social network

Wakoopa
Wakoopa is a new social networking site that lets you connect with other users who have the same tastes in... software as you do. We know, you're more likely to bond with someone online because of your love/disdain of Radiohead than because you both happen to like Firefox and hate Internet Explorer. But there are some things that make Wakoopa worth a second look.

Here's how Wakoopa works. You download a program and let it scan your computer for installed software. This lets Wakoopa help create your online profile, but it also means that Wakoopa has a pretty intriguing database of usage stats.

In other words, you could find new software by browsing the user profiles of Wakoopa members who have similar tastes to your own. Or without even signing up you can just click on the site's software tab and see a scrolling banner of recently used software as well as a list of "most used software" with the number of Wakoopa members using each application.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
